摘要

Background:Radiographers were at risk of x-ray radiation.Ministry of Heath of Indonesia made a regulation act no.33 year 2007 to secure radiographers on ionizing radiations by using radiation protection equipment(RPE).Objective:This study identified the factors affecting compliance towards RPE among radiographers and determined the correlation between influencing factors and compliance towards RPEs.Methods:The study conducted a quantitative descriptive-correlational design in a cross sectional approach.A total of 103 radiographers answered the online self administered questionnaires from 9 government hospitals at Jakarta,Indonesia.Results:It was identified that personal factors were the knowledge and motivations while the availability of RPEs and standard operating procedures were environmental factors.The knowledge(p=0.001,r=0.321)and motivations(p=0.018,r=0.232),and availability of RPE(p=0.138,r=0.146)and standard operating procedures(p=0.023,r=0.224)were factors affecting a compliance to RPEs.It was however determined that gender(p=0.251,r=0.113),and place of work(p=0.479,r=0.070)were not correlated to both personal and environmental factors.On the contrary,age(p=0.031,r=0.212),highest educational attainment(p=0.039,r=0.203),years of experience(p=0.001,r=0.336),and training(p=0.001,r=0.341)influenced both personal and environmental factors affecting compliance of radiographers towards RPEs.Findings:It was found that Dr.Cipto Mangunkusumo(p=0.271),Persahabatan(p=0.133),Fatmawati(p=0.357),Otak Nasional(p=0.238),Pasar Rebo(p=0.356),Tarakan(0.255),and Koja(p=0.199)hospitals were not probable to comply towards RPEs.Only Infeksi Sulianti Suroso(p=0.21),and Budhi Asih(p=0.0002)hospitals were most probable to comply towards RPEs.
